WHEN I'M LOW IN SPIRIT #77310152012

WHEN I’M LOW IN SPIRIT

While walking the dogs this morning this song came to my heart. I believe someone needs it to lift them higher today. Take time to read it and sing it and worship the Lord. This is one of the many songs Dottie Rambo wrote.  “In The Valley He Restoreth My Soul”
When I'm low in spirit I cry Lord lift me up I want to go higher with Thee
But the Lord knows I can’t live on the mountains, so He picked out a valley for me.

 He leads me beside still waters somewhere in the valley below
 He draws me aside to be tested and tried in the valley He restored my soul

It's dark as a dungeon and the sun seldom shines
and I question Lord why must this be? Then He tells me there's strength in my sorrow and there's victory in trials for me.

 He leads me beside still waters somewhere in the valley below
 He draws me aside to be tested and tried in the valley He restored my soul

I’m thankful I’m not low in Spirit today but I’m glad I know who to call upon when I am. Hello, fellow Christian, lift up you head, open your eyes and behold the beauty of God and know your redemption draws near . Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.

Rejoice, again I say R E J O I C E. God is bigger than all your problems. Sing praises unto Him and behold what He is doing in your life.

A DOG'S PURPOSE (from a 6 year old? #77210012012



SURFING WITH JESUS

A DOG’S PURPOSE (From a 6- year old)
(Thanks to the Sawyers for sharing)
SORRY FOR POST DELAY I’VE HAD TECHNICAL PROBLEMS
BEING A VETERINARIAN, I HAD BEEN CALLED TO EXAMINE TEN-YEAR-OLD
IRISH WOLFHOUND NAMED BELKER.

    The dog's owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle. I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer.

    I told the family we couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to
perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home. As we
made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good
for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure as they felt that
Shane might learn something from the experience. The next day, I felt
the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him.
    Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I
wondered if he understood what was going on.    Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away. The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion.
    We sat together for a while after Belker's Death, wondering aloud
about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives. Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, "I know why." startled, we all turned to him.
    What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation. It has changed the way I try and live. He said, "People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life-- like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?"
    The Six-year-old continued, "Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long."
    REMEMBER, IF A DOG WAS THE TEACHER YOU WOULD LEARN THINGS LIKE:
    *WHEN LOVED ONES COME HOME, ALWAYS RUN TO GREET THEM;
    * NEVER PASS UP THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO FOR A JOYRIDE;
    *ALLOW THE EXPERIENCE OF FRESH AIR AND THE WIND IN YOUR FACE TO
BE PURE ECSTASY;
    * TAKE NAPS;
    *STRETCH BEFORE RISING;
    * RUN, ROMP, AND PLAY DAILY;
    *THRIVE ON ATTENTION AND LET PEOPLE TOUCH YOU;
    * AVOID BITING WHEN A SIMPLE GROWL WILL DO;
    *ON WARM DAYS, STOP TO LIE ON YOUR BACK ON THE GRASS;
    * ON HOT DAYS, DRINK LOTS OF WATER AND LIE UNDER A SHADY TREE;
    *WHEN YOU'RE HAPPY, DANCE AROUND AND WAG YOUR ENTIRE BODY;
    * DELIGHT IN THE SIMPLE JOY OF A LONG WALK;
    *BE LOYAL;
    * NEVER PRETEND TO BE SOMETHING YOU\'RE NOT;
    *IF WHAT YOU WANT LIES BURIED, DIG UNTIL YOU FIND IT;
    * WHEN SOMEONE IS HAVING A BAD DAY, BE SILENT, SIT CLOSE BY, AND
NUZZLE THEM GENTLY; THERE COMES A TIME IN LIFE, WHEN YOU WALK AWAY FROM ALL THE DRAMA AND PEOPLE WHO CREATE IT.
    You surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the
bad, and focus on the good, so, love the people who treat you right.

Think good thoughts for the ones who don't ~ life is too short to be
anything but happy.

Falling down is part of LIFE...
Getting back up is LIVING...
If only we would practice these simple conclusions we our lives would be rich and enhanced as we enjoy our walk with the Lord. The simple eyes of a child can teach us many lessons.

GOD, CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION #77109202012



SURFING WITH JESUS
Pastor Gene A. Dasher, Sr.

GOD, CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION

Just askin'

Me: God, can I ask you a question?

God: Sure.

Me: Promise you won't get mad.

God: I promise.

Me: Why did you let so much stuff happen to me today?

God: What do you mean?

Me: Well, I woke up late.

God: Yes.

Me: My car took forever to start.

God: Okay.

Me: At lunch they made my sandwich wrong and I had to wait.

God: Huummm.

Me: On the way home, my phone went dead, just as I picked up a call.

God: All right.

Me: And on top of it all, when I got home I just wanted to soak my feet in my new foot massager and relax, but it wouldn't
work!!! Nothing went right today! Why did you do that?

God: Let me see, the Death Angel was at your bed this morning and I had
to send one of the other angels to battle him for your life. I let you sleep through that.

Me: (humbled): OH...

GOD: I didn't let your car start because there was a drunk driver on your route that would have hit you if you were on the road.

Me: (ashamed)

God: The first person who made your sandwich today was sick and I didn't want you to catch what they have, I knew you couldn't afford to miss work.

Me: (embarrassed): Ok...

God: Your phone went dead because the person that was calling was going
to give false witness about what you said on that call, I didn't even let
you talk to them so you would be covered.

Me: (softly) I see God.

God: Oh and that foot massager, it had a shortage that was going to throw
out all of the power in your house tonight. I didn't think you wanted to
be in the dark.

Me: I'm sorry God.

God: Don't be sorry, just learn to trust me.....in all things, the good and the bad.

Me: I will trust you.

God: And don't doubt that my plan for your day is always better than your plan.

Me: I won't God. And let me just tell you God, thank you for everything today.

God: You're welcome child. It was just another day being your God, and I
love looking after my children.

THE SPIRITUAL USE OF PRAYER CLOTHS



SURFING WITH JESUS
Pastor Gene A. Dasher, Sr.
#77009152012

The Spiritual Use of Prayer Cloths

Acts 19:11-12 King James Version (KJV)

11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
12 So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.
This cloth we use has been anointed with oil and prayed over, trusting that God will minister to you as you apply it in faith.

There is no healing power in the cloth, but handkerchiefs and aprons were used by the Apostle Paul, and many have testified to prayers answered by using anointed cloths. Our God knows just what we need. As you apply the cloth, we are trusting in Jesus, our mighty Healer and great Physician, to perform the miracle you need. 

Matthew 9:29 King James Version (KJV)

29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
Matthew 8:16 King James Version (KJV)

16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:
Isaiah 53:5 King James Version (KJV)

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
I have heard many testimonies over the years of people being healed as a cloth or a Bible, or a Christian Magazine were prayed over and given to an individual. God works in many ways and when we have faith as a little child I believe all things are possible.

I will share one little story about a man some of you knew and many of you never heard of, his name was M.A. Tomlinson and he was General Overseer of the Church of God of Prophecy. Each week before the church magazine was mailed he would go to the shipping department and pick up a few workers on his way to go pray for the White Wing Messenger. He believed that if just one person receiving it would be blessed it was worth all the effort of mailing it. Over the years many testimonies were giving of loved ones saved, uplifted, and healed. What a treat it was to see this event take place each week.

Healing is of God. Man can do what he can do with all his knowledge but the actual healing comes from God. As I’ve shared many times my sole desire as I share with you is to uplift Christ, fellow Christians, and share the love of Jesus with others.
